The Association of Old Martial Arts and Crafts, oldest such ensemble in Slovakia, wishes to humbly invite Your Highnesses to Devín Castle from June 1st to see the unseen, to hear the unheard and to experience the unexperienced!
Travel back in time on the first Saturday of every month from beginning June to the end of August to experience the rebirth of knights and brave warriors during the Knights at Devín event.
Events at the iconic castle include an interesting programme that takes visitors back to the distant past with fencing, theatre, contemporary dance, a magician, and especially the 4 p.m. programme in which the knights and their steeds are the main attractions.
Throughout the day visitors of all ages can enjoy many fun events and activities such as archery, spinning using a potter's wheel, rides on real horses as well as wooden and metal horses, a torture chamber, craft stands and refreshments, as well as an Oriental tea room.
